Île-de-France

The church of Sainte-Anne is located on the territory of the former commune of Gassicourt (annexed to Mantes-la-Jolie in 1930). It was formerly part of the Clunisian priory Saint-Sulpice. Built at the end of the 11th and beginning of the 12th centuries, the entire building was built in the Romanesque style, while the pointed vaults of the choir and transept bear witness to Gothic remodeling dating from the 13th century.
